This invention provides a pre-surgical disinfecting composition that includes at least about 50 percent by weight of a Calcohol, based upon the total weight of the disinfecting composition, an acid, and a cationic oligomer or polymer. A method for pre-surgical skin disinfection with rapid antiseptic efficacy without the use of secondary antimicrobial compounds is also described.

Composition and method for pre-surgical skin disinfection

A hydroalcoholic gel composition includes greater than about 40 weight percent of an alcohol, based upon the total weight of the alcoholic composition, a polyacrylate thickener, and an ester plug-preventing agent. The composition is suitable for use in dispensers, and exhibits reduced mis-directed output when the dispenser is actuated.

Hydroalcoholic gel compositions for use with dispensers

A foamable composition includes greater than about 40 weight percent of an alcohol, based upon the total weight of the alcoholic composition, and a foaming surfactant selected from gemini surfactants, sulfuric acid esters, di-esters, Cfatty alcohols, polyquaternium polymers, and combinations thereof.

Foamable alcoholic composition

This invention provides a method of inactivating human noroviruses and other acid stable viruses. The method includes the step of contacting the virus with a virucidally-enhanced alcoholic composition that includes an alcohol, and an enhancer selected from cationic oligomers and polymers, chaotropic agents, and mixtures thereof.

Antiviral method

This invention provides a method of inactivating non-enveloped virus particles. The method includes the step of contacting the virus with a virucidally-enhanced alcoholic composition that includes an alcohol, and an enhancer selected from the group consisting of cationic oligomers and polymers, proton donors, chaotropic agents, and mixtures thereof.

An adhesive composition applicator includes a housing having sidewalls and a neck that tapers to an opening. The housing encloses a gelled adhesive composition. The housing has a cross-sectional area and the opening has a cross-sectional area less than that of the housing cross-sectional area. A cap is provided that engages the housing. A mechanism is provided for urging the gelled composition material from the housing through the opening. The neck optionally also includes a shield to prevent gelled adhesive composition from running down the neck and provides a barrier against gelled adhesive smear reaching the point of intersection between the cap and the housing. To facilitate application of gelled composition to a point of application, a spatula is provided adjacent to the opening.

Gelled composition applicator

A stable, aqueous composition containing a substantially crosslinked alkali-swellable acrylate copolymer rheology modifier, a surfactant, an alkaline material, and various compounds therein, as for example substantially insoluble materials requiring suspension or stabilization, such as a silicone, an oily material, or a pearlescent material. Additionally, this invention also relates to the formation of a rheologically and phase stable cationic hair dye composition. The invention further relates to the incorporation of an acidic material after the addition of an alkaline material to reduce the pH of the composition without negatively impacting the viscosity of the composition.

Stable aqueous surfactant compositions

A topical composition has from 0.1 to 2 total weight percent of a first surfactant, an organic solvent, a polymer thickener, and 80 to 98 total weight percent water. The topical composition affords good topical cleaning or lotion actions and rapid water rinse in a form that has a suitable shelf life. The surfactant is chosen to yield a net HLB of between 7 and 13.

Stabilized topical composition

A silicone dissolving composition includes an organo-acid compound such as sulfonic acid or phosphinic acid, a solvent miscible with the organo-acid and able to swell a silicone, a thickener and a small amount of mineral acid. Silicone films dissolve to a liquefied mass capable of being wiped from a substrate in a matter of minutes. The removal of automotive, electrical, and construction sealants and gaskets is simplified with the use of such a silicone dissolving composition.
